(no subject)
And I finally made a tutorial , it took me very long. O___O
It takes me not more than 5 minutes to make an icon but to explain it how it was very hard! I use so many layers ... LOL But let's start.
Attention please: these tutorials are for colors only,it's up to you adding brushes/textures (I often use the sharpen and the smudge tool). Keep in mind every cap is different so again you may need to change the inputs/ouputs and the values in the selective colors . So these tutorail are basically a base. I hope it would be useful to you anyway ;)
ETA : Sounds like some steps were missed , my bad :( I tried to check but I still didnt' get the problem . So I'm uploadign here the PSD format so you can be sure they works.

other examples
step 1
resize your cap first ,I usually work on HQ which size is around 1200x700 and resize it to 500x280 . So it depends by the cap.
step 2
Duplicate your base 2 times,set the first one to screen (opacity 40%) and the second one to Soft light (100% opacity)
Step 3
add a curves layers

step 10
create a new layer and filled it with this color #d3e8ec
ps - the color can change due to the caps for this , that color suits fine.
So try to change color if it doesnt' end up well ;)
and set on multiply , 30% opacity
Step 11
Go to your base layer duplicate it and drag it over the top .
Set it on soft light 35% opacity
Step 12
Select all your layers , right click on the mouse - > Merge layers
You should have just one layer now ;)
Step 13
resize the cap to the size you can make an icon and here we go
the first tutorial is done.
Tutorial #2 (for vibrant and bright colors )

Other examples
Step 1
resize your cap first ,I usually work on HQ which size is around 1200x700 and resize it to 500x280 . So it depends by the cap.
Step 2
Duplicate your base twice,set the first one to screen (opacity 100%) and the second one to Soft light (100% opacity)
Step 3
Go to Image->Adjustments->Variations
midtones
Yellow
blue
Yellow and then press Lighter
Step 4
Add a hue/saturation Layer
Saturation +15
and set it on soft light 44% opacity
step5
